Fun, wearable, evening-appropriate yet youthfully casual: this is when Marc by Marc Jacobs shines. And when you should turn down the thousand-dollar bag for a cute design that’s half the price. That is, if you’re the right age (read: not mine) and your personal style is youthful enough to match. Otherwise, a bag like this is bound to look a little silly. The Show Box Darcy takes its shape from an old-fashioned hatbox, but that’s where the throwback elements end. As an adorable alternative to your typical evening clutch, this is about as modern as it gets.
I particularly like the way the round box bag opens up, with the top unfolding to reveal the entire interior so you can quickly grab and go. While I love it as a small top-handle – adding the optional shoulder strap ruins the effect entirely. A geometric bag like this is just too bulky to work as a shoulder style. But with the right personality, a confident girl can rock this day or night to awesome effects.
Pair with: I usually recommend shaking up your designers per outfit, but this tulip-print Marc by Marc dress is too right-on to pass up. Sweet but not too prim, the bag-and-dress pairing begs to be mussed up with bed head and a smoky eye.

A neutral palette of contrasting black and white, both of equally slick leather, makes for maximum versatility, and so do the adjustable straps, which quickly convert from shoulder to crossbody. This little frame-top isn’t going to hold much (and don’t expect it to expand), but it will likely be just the right size for a lingering lunch with your besties or an unexpected evening night out. And those times tend to be the very best times.
